They want to change"true patriot love in all thy sons command' to 'true patriot love in all of us command'

Do you agree with the change?

Me personally, I like the idea being gender neutral but it shouldn't be our main concern. There is a lot of problems in Canada that needs to be focused on before this. Our taxes should go to more important things like the homeless for example.

Whoa, whoa, whoa -- someone messed up in a very problematic, micro-aggressive sort of way.

How could they possibly describe anything containing the word "patriot" as "gender-neutral"? "Patriot" shares the same etymological roots as "patriarchy", which of course is the institutionalized marginalization of all women and non-cis persons by white males and their privilege. I am literally shaking right now. Also, you're a sexist.

It should be "daughters".

Please tell me how I am a sexist? I like the idea of anthem being gender neutral but don't think it's the most important problem in Canada.

Yeah, I don't think you really understand the point of the change.

According to OP the point is to become gender-neutral. What else is there to understand?

The entire context of the political conversation, it seems from your reply.

I'm so happy and mind-blown that Canada's politicians have worked so hard to pass such an important and pressing bill, which will change the shape of the nation.

I have two aunts that are Canadian, and by extension, a bunch of cousins that are Canadian, but don't really care. If a song says "my sons" or "all of us" it doesn't change the rights. No one is being harmed by the words in a song.

"The Collectivist experiment is thoroughly suited (in appearance at least) to the Capitalist society which it proposes to replace. It works with the existing machinery of Capitalism, talks and thinks in the existing terms of Capitalism, appeals to just those appetites which Capitalism has aroused, and ridicules as fantastic and unheard-of just those things in society the memory of which Capitalism has killed among men wherever the blight of it has spread."
